I see.  Thank you.

Ah, I think not.  I think I see now what Rutherther (on IRC) meant when
they said that guix shell adds to native-inputs.

The input that provided the TLS certificates in my case was nss-certs.
I provided it by adding it to a profile which I then loaded via guix
shell.  It seems this adds it to "native"?

Heh, ditto.  While the disclaimer wasn't strictly necessary, I
appreciate your clarification.
